MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION

​MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION IS THE

SUPERPOWER YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU ALREADY HAVE! 

How is that? Because Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) develops inner resources that everyone already has!

The MSC training course works on resources that all human beings already have, even if you did not work to develop these resources in the past and even if you feel you don't have that resource.  

Self-Compassion is the capacity to be a strong and supportive ally to yourself as you live your life- the ability to sooth yourself when you need soothing, to motivate yourself when you need motivation, to provide for your own emotional needs, and to protect yourself when you need protecting! 

Self compassion is a courageous, empowered stance that builds our resilience and helps reduce our unnecessary suffering, including the ways that we unwittingly hurt ourselves through self-criticism, self-isolation, or self-absorption.

-THE MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION COURSE-
THE COURSE THAT CHANGES PEOPLES LIVES

The Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Course is an empirically validated personal growth and development course.   In plain english- the data from more than a thousand published, peer-reviewed studies show that practicing self-compassion will increase your well-being and make you more resilient.  

Self-Compassion is the ability to be present in the face of challenges and support and encourage ourselves in the same way we support a good, loyal friend. 

The MSC training program is a cutting-edge, applied mindfulness course that combines neuroscience, positive psychology and ancient wisdom to help you discover and tap into powerful human strengths. The program is very practical and includes many skills you can apply in your daily life. The 9-session MSC program is based on the groundbreaking research and clinical work of Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer.

As a human being, each of us already has the capacity for kindness and resilience.  MSC teaches core principles and practices that empower participants to respond to the stresses and difficulties of their lives with a kind, connected presence. In MSC, participants cultivate skills of self-compassion with experiential exercises and practices that they can apply in their daily lives.

In my own life, I have practiced mindfulness meditation and applied mindfulness since 2004. I am a Certified Teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion.  I was the first certified MSC teacher in Thailand!  As a therapist and facilitator, I love teaching the MSC program.  Why?  I've spent my working life helping people learn, grow, heal and develop and I've never seen anything like the MSC program.  The MSC program catalyzes and accelerates growth, healing and development.  I've frequently seen this happen for individuals over time- Before MSC, I never saw it happen for whole groups of people in just 2 months!  And the stories that I hear from people who completed the MSC course six months and 1 year or 2 years after they complete the course are inspiring!
